Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will lead the robot-learning research agenda by setting technical direction, defining evaluation standards, and making critical architecture and compute tradeoffs. Additionally, you will develop and pretrain robot foundation models while mentoring the research team to scale physical capabilities.
Candidates must hold a PhD in a relevant field or possess an equivalent record of original research and deployed capabilities. Strong proficiency in Python, PyTorch or JAX, and C++ is required, along with proven experience in deploying learned models on physical robotic systems.
GRAM is a self replication company creating populations of insectoids for the physical economy.
Our first research frontier is self-preservation: the base case of physical self-replication. Our machines will survive, coordinate, and recover without humans. We believe scalable machine labor requires more than single-agent task generality or machines shaped in our image.
GRAM is building reusable embodied intelligence that transfers across embodiments, tasks, environments, tools, and team configurations. The work must remain grounded in data, compute, runtime constraints, and repeatable physical evaluation.
You will be the accountable owner of GRAM's robot-learning research agenda. You will set technical direction and evaluation standards, make architecture, data, and compute tradeoffs directly with the founders, and shape the hiring standard and mentor the team as the program grows. You will develop general representations, models, policies, training methods, and evaluations for individual and coordinated physical behavior. Success means measured transfer to physical systems, not breadth asserted from a benchmark.
The annual base salary range for this San Francisco Bay Area position is $225,000–$300,000. Health coverage, benefits, and generous equity come with the role. This role is on-site in the San Francisco Bay Area. A relocation bonus is available. We hire to start as soon as possible. We review what you’ve shipped; if it’s the caliber we seek, interviews take about a week, start to finish. We treat your work and conversations with discretion.
